About this listen
Two best friends. One summer wedding. A fake relationship that doesn't go to plan.
Someone should’ve told me pretending to date your best friend only works if you aren’t in love with them.
Kennedy Davis is not in love with her best friend. That’s what she tells every girl she dates anyway, but it always ends up the same.
Sienna Stevens is in love with her best friend, but she’s too afraid to admit it. A hopeless romantic who hopes her best friend might one day see her as more.
When Kennedy must return home for her brother’s wedding it only makes sense to bring her best friend along. But Kennedy's fears of returning home give Sienna a chance for Kennedy to see her as more—by being her fake girlfriend.
So when the line between friends and more gets blurred with Sienna, will Kennedy finally see what everyone’s been telling her all along and confess her true feelings? Or will she hide how she feels to keep their friendship? After all, a fake relationship over the summer can’t hurt, right?
Book 1 in Shannon O'Connor's Only in Seaside series.

Story
Bailey Kaczmarek has three loves: her dog, her construction company, and her very large family. After she finds out that her fiancée never stopped dating, she resolves to be content with what she has, rather than search for happiness in a relationship. It’s not like she has much free time anyway. Skye Kohl is a high-powered commercial real estate broker, who spends most of her waking hours negotiating some of the largest leases in the nicest buildings in Chicago. She’s so focused on topping the list of the most influential brokers in the city, that she ignores her love life.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears.

And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Boring but sweet
The book was boring but sweet. There were three good sex scenes. There is a bad guy you live to hate. And there is a rescue kitten!
I listened to this on audible. The narrator wasn’t very good. I think Alexa would have done a better job.

Did ChatGPT write this?
The narration is robotic, the plot nonsensical, and the character motivations completely unexplained. The writing style breaks every rule of good prose taught in a fiction 101 class. Reads like someone asked ChatGPT to write a slow-burn fake dating romance.
